California American Water Highlights Work Zone Awareness Week

SAN DIEGO (APRIL 23, 2025) – California American Water is highlighting National Work Zone Awareness Week, an annual campaign that promotes safe driving in highway work zones from April 21-25, 2025.

“At California American Water, our teams and contractors work daily in and around roadways to help ensure reliable service for our customers,” said Kevin Tilden, President, California American Water. “National Work Zone Awareness Week emphasizes our shared responsibility to keep roads and workers safe. When you slow down and stay alert in work zones, you're helping protect lives, including your own.”

California American Water invests more $160 million into its infrastructure annually. Whether it’s water and wastewater infrastructure upgrades or routine maintenance and cleaning, California American Water’s top priority is keeping crews and motorists safe.

California American Water provides these simple rules when driving through work zones:

  • Stay alert: Pay attention to flaggers, workers, and equipment, and be prepared for sudden stops.
  • Slow down: Follow all posted speed limits and adjust for traffic flows and weather conditions.
  • Give yourself some space: Leave at least a minimum of three seconds of braking room between other vehicles.
